Pros

The company offers good benefits and work schedules are flexible (see cons). The yearly layoffs have not stopped since going private. Many staff in the U.S. have taken a step-down in their position to retain employment with the company. Jobs continue to be offshored,

Cons

This is a globally staffed company with project teams scattered among multiple countries. Staff in key locations work very early or late to accomodate the varying time zones. This might benefit your personal schedule or be difficult to manage if you are not an early morning or late-night person.

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
